UNSPSC 95121618: Marina

A harbor with wharfs keeping boats and yachts and with services for recreational boating

UNSPSC 95121618 Marina, a Commodity code, describes work state and local governments buy to remove derelict and abandoned vessels from waterways, restore coastal structures, and maintain navigable channels—activities driven primarily by waterfront safety, environmental compliance, and federal disaster-response funding. Recent solicitations show repeated activity across Florida counties (Escambia, Chatham, Monroe, Broward, Sarasota) alongside municipal and regional authorities in Texas, California, Oregon, and Connecticut, with state departments in Mississippi and Texas actively procuring under this code through RFPs, ITBs, RFQs, and ITQs.

Derelict vessel removal dominates the activity: Escambia County Marine Resources Division has posted multiple price quotes through June and July 2026 for individual floating, removal, and disposal of vessels ranging from 27 to 35 feet, funded by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission grant programs. The City of Fort Myers issued RFP26067 (due August 18, 2026) for a five-year continuing derelict vessel removal contract with 48-hour emergency mobilization and unit pricing by vessel size. Beyond vessels, the code captures broader marine infrastructure work—seawall reconstruction (City of Sarasota, City of Tarpon Springs), dune restoration (City of Sarasota), boat dock and boardwalk repairs (Pinellas County Schools, Pasco County, Broward County), and navigational aid installation and maintenance (Sarasota County, multiple venues). The City of West Sacramento (ITB 2026-ITB-352, due July 10, 2025) and Pasco County (Withlacoochee River Park Observation Dock, due April 28, 2026) solicit floating dock and pier construction. Habitat restoration and dredging work appears in Texas (Brazos River Authority's Lake Limestone Park project, due May 7, 2026; Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program's Deadman Island Restoration, due April 15, 2026; Texas General Land Office's dry dock demolition and debris monitoring). Issuing bodies span county governments (Escambia, Chatham, Monroe, Broward, Collier, Sarasota, Clay, Ventura), cities (Fort Myers, West Sacramento, Long Beach, Sarasota, Tarpon Springs, San Angelo, New Haven, Cibolo), school districts (Pinellas County), state departments (Florida Parks and Wildlife, Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, Texas GLO, Texas Parks and Wildlife), special-purpose districts (Brazos River Authority, Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program), and transit/harbor authorities (Long Beach, Channel Islands Harbor). Florida, Texas, and California show the most recent concentration, with activity also strong in Georgia, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Oregon. Competitive sealed bids and RFPs predominate; response dates span near-term (July 2026) through fall 2026, with many projects funded in whole or part by federal sources (FEMA, HUD, FDEP, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) triggering Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance, federal procurement standards, and environmental permitting. Insurance requirements across solicitations consistently demand marine-specific coverage—Protection & Indemnity, maritime workers' compensation, marine pollution liability—with limits typically $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate. Liquidated damages, performance bonds, and strict environmental compliance (seagrass, oyster, mangrove, and wetland protection) are standard. This code has sustained, diversified activity suitable for marine contractors, environmental restoration firms, and specialized vessel salvage operators with federal compliance capability and access to bonding and marine insurance.
